Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.
Janet Morris
Image
It's all the same - no good without evil, no balance...no maat. If we lose one, we lose the other. It's just life, that's all.

There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint.

What we hold sacred is honor, justice, and glory. You need not swear allegiance to our storm god, to serve with us. Fighters are among us from many lands, with many gods and many beliefs. Believe as you will. What is between a man and his god is theirs alone to say.

Everything that anyone respects is what men naturally excel at: fighting, accruing wealth, playing at power.

Image
I don't want to be any closer to the gods than death will bring me.
Janet Morris
Image
Gods colliding, ethos and mythos trying to combine. The Sacred Band caught up in a whirlwind not of any god's devising: he and Niko had wanted to save twenty-three pairs of fated Theban fighters. Now everything feels fated and fighting oversweeps its boundaries of time and place and plane.
